    Flights home after Camino

BUT, when I got to the Iberian Airlines ticket counter in Chicago, they said their policy was that they would not let me on the plane without either a visa or a return flight. That's not the law, as I understand it, but it's their...

    One way ticket

    I don’t know about France, but I flew into Madrid yesterday from Chicago, and they wouldn’t let me board until I made a return reservation or had a visa. I stood there making a reservation on my phone. It’s hard to argue with them when the plane is goi g to take off soon!

    Thanks for your suggestions! I didn't know about the "peregrination memorial"--what a lovely idea.

    Travel company or do it myself?

    Wow. Questions. Are you ready for all these answers? The Camino has been a dream of mine for many years, but more seriously since 2016, when my husband and I started training for a spring, 2017 start. Even though we never made it together (he died last January), I haven't been able to give up...

    Travel company or do it myself?

    I plan to start my first Camino (Frances) next April, at age 72. I am female, and will be traveling alone at this point. I am trying to decide if I should use a travel company to make hotel reservations (better sleep, assured of a bed, lessen the risk of Covid) vs. staying in albergues...
